To help runners keep pace and meet their goals in the Lululemon SeaWheeze half-marathon Aug. 16, 2015, these volunteers wore shirts that promised they'd do their part.

The Lululemon SeaWheeze half-marathon sold out for the fourth year as 10,016 runners crossed the downtown Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»­finish line Aug. 16.

Logos flashed on clothing, head bands and even as ink on skin for the 21.1-kilometre race launched by the global retail company. The race route circles Stanley Park, crosses the Burrard Bridge and winds past the company's Kitsilano headquarters before returning downtown to the Convention Centre.
